Hi!
Would it
be feasible to include an og:image tag on pages for which we have
a reasonable guess as to the thumbnail? Open Graph[3] is supported by what
seems anecdotally to me to be a wide range of services, so good hints there
would improve thumbnails for links on not just reddit, but Facebook,
Twitter, various chat clients, I think several Wordpress plugins, etc.

I wonder if this can somehow be connected to Wikidata's image attribute
(
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P18).
This is a very good idea, because it circumvents the problem of autodetection that
PageImages has for instance and that takes away the ability of editors to ‘author’ the
result.
